In the doldrums?

It has just occurred to me that tagging can be represented graphically by a Web diagram, or perhaps it is the reverse?

Some nodes in the web are tags and some are “items.” Each item that, for example, is tagged by “Tag A,” has a line (link) from Tag A to the item. But if, say, two tags are related, then they can also be linked.

This could easily become overwhelming without a proper interface which would not only need capabilities such as those in The Brain and Inspiration (e.g. centering on a specific node and being able to zoom (in or out) ones view of the web, but also the ability to display only selected parts of the web, rather like in InfoSelect enables one to see only selected parts (not necessarily contiguous) of the tree.
